Hello all In thinking more about the CoI issue wrt the board requirement of separation between the "strategists" (this group), the "funders" (the group that will evaluate proposals and give funds), and the "fundees" (the group receiving funds), it appears that the rationales we've used in the Board reply: ".. the CCWG is currently operating on the basis that as long as CCWG members / participants declare their intention to (potentially) apply for the new gTLD Auction Proceeds once the proposed mechanism has been approved by the ICANN Board, this provides for sufficient transparency and accountability in this stage of the process, as the decisions for final funding allocation will not be taking by this CCWG but by the mechanism defined." don't really point to an important reason for the CCWG participants to be free of CoI issue at that level: the funding system being designed by the CCWG is not going to get approved by the CCWG itself but by the Board, the CCWG being only an advisory body sending recommendations, and the board holding the final approval. Is this something we've talked about before and didn't mention in the reply on purpose ? (sorry to come up late in the board reply agenda with that comment, but we can probably keep it as one more rationale on our side, in the CoI question bucket) On 2017-05-04 19:55, Marika Konings wrote:
